Not sure, and I used panty hose too lol. He said they were microscopic and invisible and became airborne despite the panty hose. Being airborne was the issue he drove home. Not sure wearing clothes makes makes microscopic airborne particles. Idk, I did it for years, more careful now.
Previous life in Colo our water was soft, so we didn't get that. Here the water is not soft, now I understand why the directions said to use distilled water. That and the minerals build up on the ultrasonic disc.
Wish they still made those, I totally remember them, and the fan blowing up would move heat that settled up on the ceiling.
That would be great if it's an open tank ! Unfortunately the one I bought had a water jug with a hose sized opening. I still have the type yooperdave showed, I'm just not strong enough to get the lid on correctly.
Us too. One of my chores once I was tall enough to lift a mop bucket sized container over the edge without spilling it. Couple few trips back and forth between it and the tub, regularly throughout the LI winters.
Lol. Same here. Then, years later, my wife and I got one just like my parents original. We had that up until 3 years ago. I wanted more space so we got two 1.5 gallon vornado units. At its driest here I may have to fill them every day but not often as we are alway transitioning from winter to spring from November through March. I've only had to refill one of them this winter so far. Both set at 40%
For anyone interested, this is the indoor drier vent I got - it is around $50. The kit has everything you need including filters, ducting and clamps. It is metal too, so I'd think more durable than the plastic ones. I mounted it on the wall behind the drier and you can feel the air moving out of it from quite a bit away. The filters are 3-stage: wire mesh for large stuff, then the 2-sided scrunger type with one side being for medium stuff and the the other side being for small stuff. I change out the filter every 3-4 loads and clean off the cat hair of the dirty filter, then run it under the kitchen sink sprayer. There are also the ones that use water as a lint trap but I don't have any experience with those.
Humidifier. Usually only needed once a solid freeze sets in. Rained 3 of 4 days here recetly so humidity is not yet an issue.
I'm wondering why the dryer exhaust feeds into the top of the unit? (creating more resistance to air flow in exhaust....) I don't see any problems in mounting the filter unit "upside down" as they show in the pics. Cleans up the install a bit, no?
